The Prindle Post is an online resource dedicated to examining applied ethics issues raised by current events. Our goal is to explore all the moral matter left unsaid in mainstream media. While a typical news story provides an account of the facts of a situation, we aim to highlight the ethical implications lurking in the background. While a great deal of attention is paid to improving the ability to distinguish genuine information from fake news, we believe that more attention should be directed at developing our ability to decipher and analyze the moral issues at stake in a given situation. At the very bottom of our political, cultural, and societal disagreements lies a fundamental question about how to prioritize competing moral values. Improving our social literacy, then, requires a sustained investigation into the foundation of these intuitions and convictions, and this is labor that cannot be accomplished simply through continued exposure to the news. Instead, it demands that we develop the ethical tools that might guide us to the moral heart of the matter and reveal effective strategies for making sense of it all.
